Materials give life and authenticity to your design by simulating surface textures, colors and lighting effects. In this video we will show you how to create and customize these materials to get a high quality rendering in the end.

On the Edit tab there is the Material group. This is a collection of all the functions you will need in order to edit the surfaces included in your design.

In the following chapters, you will learn:

about the logic of physical rendering used in pCon.planner 8.

how to use colors in pCon.planner (assigning to objects, coloring selections, transfering colors using the eyedropper tool or selecting a color).

how to organize and use materials in the Material Editor.

how to differentiate colors, textures and materials from one another.
